Function

The SLC14A1 codes for a urea transporter (UTB) that is expressed in erythrocytes and kidney. SLC14A2 and SLC14A1 constitute solute carrier family 14. UTB proteins constitute the Kidd antigen system.

gollark: It's much more about tribal signalling than actual policy and doing useful things.
gollark: You can't actually do anything significant to them in most cases, and they monopolize vast amounts of people's attention and communication bandwidth.
gollark: Large-scale politics is *basically* (EDIT: mostly) a horrible infohazard pushed by organizations trying to maximize your engagement (which is often done by generating outrage at the Other Side) and the politicians trying to get you to use your small and indirected power to benefit them.
gollark: NOT ignoring them doesn't work well either.
gollark: I mean, local ones maybe not, you can actually affect those.
